Private sundeck aboard the marina

[DrJW]

Do passengers who are booked in PH1-PH3 Staterooms have free access to:

 

Aromatic Steam Room

 

Enjoy these private environments with the purchase of a daily pass or is it free to PH 1-3 passengers?

 

Thalassotherapy Pool

The therapeutic and healing benefits of salt water and massage are united in the wonderful thalassotherapy pool where you can unwind and feel the power of flowing water unknotting tired muscles. Excellent post-workout or pre-massage.

 

Sundeck

Relax on our PRIVATE sundeck after your thalassotherapy experience. Enjoy a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of other travelers.

 

Can previous Marina/Riviera passengers who were in PH 1-3 category suites share whether there typically were enough deck lounges available on both sea as well as non sea days on this 'private sundeck'?

 

I was told by previous passengers that many passengers who also have staterooms in lower categories have also accessed the above spa amenities but for a charge or they have just readily entered these areas. making these areas most crowded!

 

More recently, a colleague shared that now access to these areas is card key controlled for access.

 

 

Would appreciate any feedback on the above.

 

 

Thank you!

I believe the steam room is open to all

 

The spa deck with T-pool is free to Concierge & above cabins

We needed the key card to access the area on The Riveria in Jan so I am guessing it is the same on Marina

 

People can buy a day pass as well

& if you have a spa treatment I think you still can use it for 1 hr pre or post treatment

 

Whether it is busy or not depends on the passengers on that cruise

We have been on the deck a number of times. Sometimes there was no one there, other times we were not able to secure a lounge chair. Most times we found it very windy on sea days. It is very quiet. Available to those booked in concierge and higher with key access. Others can purchase a day pass.

On our trips the spa facilities were free for all to use. The sun deck is open for A grade cabins and above and a day pass can be gotten. It is a very nice space however it was closed at times because of wind and we found it very hot in the afternoon when the ship was not moving. We used it 4 or 5 times on our 14 day trip.
